Donovan: The Hurdy Gurdy Man

MONO EDITION!

With 1968’s The Hurdy Gurdy Man, Donovan delivered one of his most full-realized works, with a psychedelic/progressive edge as well as an exotic Eastern flavor that reflects the influence of his then-recent trip with the Beatles to India to study with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi—an experience that helped to inspire Donovan to renounce drug use and encourage his fans to try meditation instead of chemical consumption. While the title track introduced a heavier-sounding Donovan to AM radio listeners and became one of his biggest hit singles, the smash “Jennifer Juniper” maintains his gentle, romantic side.

The album’s playful experimental spirit is reflected in the innovative use of drones on such tracks as “Peregrine” and “Tangier,” and in the music-hall diversion of “As I Recall It,” while “A Sunny Day,” “The River Song” and “The Entertaining of a Shy Girl” showcase Donovan’s knack for idyllic, pastoral songcraft. Sundazed’s vinyl edition of The Hurdy Gurdy Man features the album’s rare, much sought-after original mono mix, doing justice to the sonic presence and creative imagination of this vintage gem. f

Donovan

Geboren am 10. 5.1946 in Glasgow Nach einem Jahrzehnt Pop-Geschäft und 15 Langspielplatten (die jüngste erschien zu Beginn des Jahres 1975: „Tease') ist der Märchenerzähler der Popmusik wieder gut im Rennen - hatte er die ver- gangenen 2 Jahre doch lediglich zum Fast-Nichtstun benutzt. 1964 trat der sanfte Weltveränderer erstmals in der britischen TV-Show „Ready, Steady, Go' auf und wurde auf Anhieb zu einem beliebten und gefragten Star. Zu seinen großen Erfolgen gehören unter anderem die Titel „Sunshine Superman', „Season Of The Witch' (das auch Julie Driscoll Zu Erfolg verhalf), „Mellow Yellow' oder vor allem die traumhaft verspielte und Sehnsüchtige Ballade vom untergegangenen Kontinent „Atlantis'.

Seit Donovan 1970 erstmals eine elektrische Gitarre benutzte und jazzige Arrangements in Seine Songs bauen ließ, sind seine Platten auch musikalisch abwechslungsreicher als zuvor. Besonders bei seiner jüngsten Langspielplatte „Tease' nimmt der einstige Folk-Apostel Jazz-, Rock- und Gospelelemente in seine Musik auf.
